2 comments about All-Clad Stainless Solid Square Spoon.

1. I bought this All-Clad stainless spoon and was very excited to use it but it was very disappointing (and heartbreaking!) I used it on my brand new All-Clad stainless pan and it scratched up the pan really bad with just one time of light use! Hence, I have put this spoon away b/c I don't want to ruin any of my other metal pots and pans. I guess I could use it to serve but it defeats the purpose of me spending this $$ on it.

   This spoon looks nice but it is very heavy. My arm got tired from using it to stir-fry. I don't recommend buying it. Cooking shouldn't be this painful. =(




2. My mother had a squared-off spoon ever since I can remember. It is great for cooking, getting the corners of the pots, and completely covers the bottom of the pan! No need to use a spatula and a spoon with this one! I have been looking for years to find one for myself and am greatful to find one here. I would encourage all cooks of all ages and experience to get one for themself and anyone they know!

1. If you haven't used All-Clad pans, you've missed a cooking experience. The thick aluminum core gives unmatched even heating, while the stainless steel cooking surface provides a worry-free cooking surface. Though the brushed aluminum outer surface can stain somewhat (the LTD line avoids this), All-Clad's Master Chef is the most cost effective way to enjoy the All-Clad cooking experience.

1. This one piece, constructed with an copper core and aluminum layers inside the stainless steel, is so amazingly great to cook with, we use it for almost everything! It is large, so we don't need a griddle or another skillet. It has a lid, so we can make roasts and cover them in the oven. It is quite easy to clean. We have gas heat and the distribution of heat with it is nothing short of awesome. I think we use this one pan more than any other two pans combined. Get one. You won't regret it.

1. This is NOT a true clad or tri-product it is stainless only i.e. no aluminum core. My warped under the broiler and ruined a sizable salmon fillet. I have a ton of other true All-Clad this is not clad and All-Clad won't help you if you buy one so stay away and buy a pan which is actually tri-ply. After talking about this misrepresentation to All-Clad customer service I am pretty much done with All-Clad All-together.



2. Forget the negative reviews! This pan does a fantastic job of roasting. I will be doing a 7 lb. Choice Beef Rib-eye roast for Christmas dinner in it. It deglazes just like any other good SS pan.
   
   It is a tad heavy though, so don't expect an aluminum feel to it. Cleanup is just like any other SS pan... use Barkeeper's Friend and it all done and shiny.
   
   There may actually be better roasters out there, but that doesn't mean this is not an excellent roaster!
   
   And BTW, it costs $199, no matter where you look to buy it.



3. I bought one of these last year to use on Thanksgiving and have been wondering ever since how I had managed to live without one! It by far does the best job of making a turkey that I have ever seen. The turkey recipe I normally use involves brining the turkey and then roasting it, and in this pan it turns out amazing, I have everyone who tries it ask what my secret is, and my secret is this pan. I have also used it to make a delicious pineapple glazed ham and roasted two decently sized chickens at once in it as well. It is by far the best roasting pan I or any of my girlfriends have ever seen. Even my mom was wondering how I made her recipe better than her! If you are in the market for a roasting pan this one is hands down the only choice out there!



4. Do not be fooled! This roasting pan does NOT have an aluminum core; virtually every other stainless steel All-Clad piece does. The sales people at Williams-Sonoma said it DOES, but the box clearly says solid stainless steel. I cooked my turkey in it, realized my (their) mistake, and took it back. You can get a better stainless pan for under $40. Don't make the mistake of buying this pan just for the All-Clad brand name on the handle. It is a rip off. And this pan is horrible for doing anything beyond simple roasting (e.g., deglazing or reducing on the stove)!



5. This roasting pan is NOT a clad construction like the other All-Clad cookware. It is a pure stainless steel construction and does not conduct heat well at all. I'm going to be returning mine as I just purchased a Viking Roasting Pan to replace this one. The Viking is only a little bit more expensive but it is a fully CLAD ALUMINUM construction and conducts heat SUPERBLY -- plus it matches my All-Clad cookware!

5 comments about All-Clad Copper Core Dutch Oven.

1. Dutch Oven is to limiting a name for this product. Sure you can use it to slow cook food. You can also use it to make casseroles, soups, boil pasta and more. This pot is smaller than a stock pot yet larger than a sauce pan. This is why my family chose it to start adding pots to our All-Clad collection. With a family of four and entertaining the 5.5 quarts this pot offers is perfect.
   
   All-Clads pots, unlike their frying pans, do not seem to have a learning curve. You still learn to use lower heat, but as most the items we put in pots are covered in a sauce or water there does not seem to be the opportunity to sear as many things to this pot like there is when learning to use a frying pan.
   
   One of the other reviewers intelligently stated that if stranded on a desert island this and their 10" All-Clad frying pan would be what they wanted. I would only alter that statement by replacing the 10" pan with my 12" pan (larger meals).



2. Haven't fired up this bad boy yet so this review only concerns esthetics and workmanship. This thing beautiful, inside and out. Flawless brushed finish on the inside; flawless gloss finish on the outside. The handles on the sides and on the lid are solidly riveted in place with little or no clearance where food may collect. The shape is both pleasing and ergonomically perfect for what I need. The whole thing gives you a sense of rock solidness. The lid sits perfectly in the rim of the pot and is held in place by a lip. The copper bands on the bottom of the pot and the edge of the rim add a nice "trim" effect.
   
   A little overpriced? Maybe. But you have to take into account that this thing is made in America, not China where labor is...what?...3 cents an hour? And forgive my chauvanism but I like the fact that such workmanship is still done in this country.



3. Yes, buy this dutch oven. I own over a dozen All-Clad pieces and this is far and away my favorite. It's impossible to burn food in this oven. It cooks so evenly and makes heavenly stews, pot roasts, etc. I start my stews and roasts on the cooktop and finish in the oven at 325 degrees for 1-2 hours. Everything comes out perfectly. This All-Clad piece cleans up very easily. If there is any food particles that my plastic scrubber doesn't remove, an hour's soak with 1/2 inch of vinegar in the bottom of the oven makes it like new. If I had just one piece of cookware to take to a desert island, it would be the All-Clad Copper Core Dutch Oven. If I had two pieces to take, I'd add my All-Clad Copper-core 10 inch fry pan.



4. I recently retired and became very interested in cooking. My experience with "cheaply" manufactured pans resulted in uneven heat distribution & burnt foods for this novice cook. I made the investment in All Clad pots and pans & haven't back! The quality of product materials and craftsmanship is outstanding. The All Clad products are both functional on the range & beautiful hanging from my pot rack. You will not regret the extra expensive for a product that is worth every penny!



5. Some years ago I was a professional chef, and I approach cooking in an analytical way, (cooking is science, plating is art). I learned the real value of slow cooking of some foods, especially in classical cuisine and much of ethnic cooking. The trick is a specialized slow-cook oven (expensive restaurant equipment) or a well-made Dutch oven. Assuming you are not reading this from the kitchen of a three star, the obvious choice is the Dutch oven.

   My first really usable Dutch oven was a 50-year-old one, 18 pounds of solid aluminum! Eventually it pitted as to become unsafe. I've tried many of the current crop, and was very disappointed at the uneven heat distribution, with the propensity of food to caramelize and eventually burn at the transition point between the flat bottom and the sides (the metal thickness at this point is critical). In my testing, this pot is far and away the best designed, finished, and certainly the best cooking Dutch oven now being produced.

   I purchased this item, and am thoroughly satisfied. The price for this superior "slow cooker" is steep, but if you really know how, and when to use this pot, you will marvel at the results, and it really beats the price tag of the restaurant "slow oven!"

   Worth the price, and is in my opinion the best by far of all the offerings, spring for one, then really enjoy classical cuisine as it was once prepared!

1. If your upgrading from a rubber or plastic slotted spoon, you may be a little disappointed with this product because it does not drain as well. However, unlike the rubber and plastic products, no food falls through the holes. The stainless looks great and sparkles after a trip through the dishwasher. The stainless also gives a nice weight to the spoon. The handle feels good in hand.

1. Want the best? This is it. I love it. Will last a lifetime. Looks beautiful. Better yet, it cooks wonderfully. Very little gas flame or electric heat is necessary to heat it to desired temperatures. Is very "energy conservative." If I lost it, I would buy another without batting an eyelash. I expect it will last a lifetime and could be become a family heirloom of the type that is "they don't make them like this anymore." If you can afford it get it.

1. Like all of the coper-core pieces from All-Clad, this is a beauty.
   
   I used to think people who spent "so much" on cookware were INSANE.
   
   If you actually use this pan every day (and you can)...
   
   ...and turn out consistently delightful meals (and you will)...
   
   ...for every dish that turns out as you had hoped, pop one penny in a jar (you can find them everywhere if you look, my kids do!) and by a years time(1 cent a day) you will have saved enough to go and get another of these delightful pans!
   
   The flat cooking surface of this pan is actually just a tad larger than the 13" braiser and the overall interior diameter and height of the domed lid is just a tad smaller. (Imeasured side by side)
   
   I got 10 2" thick lamb chops into this pan. Seared em', deglazed then added the magic ingredients, popped in the oven with lid and braised.
   
   Delicious!!!!!!
   
   Sautese = higher sides makes good for frying chicken - if you do
   
   Braiser = probablly better for a larger quantity but even that might not be so because while the braisers sides flare out they are shorter. The sautese sides go straight up and are higher.
   
   All depends on what you are cooking I suppose
   
   Also the sautese has a lip around the edge which helps in pouring without dripping.
   
   Lastly it is roughly $25 less
   
   May all your meals be joyous!
